CHAPTER 13 ACTUAL TEST PAPER QUESTIONS
AND SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Nativism.
Answer: The assumption that a person's characteristics are largely
inborn. (Nature perspective)
◉ Natural Selection.
Answer: The evolutionary principle that organisms that are better
able to adapt to environmental pressures are more likely to
reproduce and pass along those adaptive characteristics than those
that cannot adapt
◉ Neobehavioralism.
Answer: Utilizes intervening variables in the form of hypothesized
physiological processes, to help explain behavior
◉ Radical behaviorism.
Answer: Emphasizes the influence of the environment on overt
behavior, rejects the use of internal events to explain behavior, and
views thoughts and feelings as behaviors that needs explaining
themselves
,◉ Reciprocal determinism.
Answer: The assumption that environmental events, observal
behavior, and "personal variables" (including internal events)
reciprocally influence each other
◉ Social learning theory.
Answer: Strongly emphasizes the importance of observational
learning and cognitive variables in explaining human behavior. -
"Social cognitive learning"
◉ Stimulus response theory.
Answer: -"S-R theory" Theory that leaning involves the
establishment of a connection between a specific stimuls and a
specific response
◉ Structuralism.
Answer: Assumes that it is possible to determine the structure of the
mind by identifying the basic elements that compose it

inborn, and learning is simply a result of inner reflection to uncover
knowledge that is already there -Wrote the 5 laws of association

Answer: "I think therefor I am" proposed mind-body dualsitic model
that says behavior can be explained as a combination of learning and
inborn reflexes, only humans have free-will
◉ Edward Titchener.
Answer: American philosophy student that created Structuralism
which focuses on using the scientific method
◉ William James.
Answer: "Founder of American psychology" established
functionalism which was derived from theory of evolution and
focused on the way the mind adapts
